Only the lonely will understand why my head is bowed

And only the lonely will feel the way that I'm feeling now

Only the hearts that have felt the pain of love that has slipped away

Will understand the song I sing and the words I say

Only the hearts that have felt the pain of love that has slipped away

Will understand the song I sing and the words I say (and the words I say)

Only the lonely will understand why my head is bowed

And only the lonely will sing the song that I'm singing now
